Alex Trebek, the 78 year old host of J!, has announced that he has been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He vows to fight this, and I hope all the best for him, but man I don't know how I could look in a camera and say that with such professionalism.

This is never news you want to hear, much less share, but you have to admire Alex for announcing it in this fashion, and as he said, being open and transparent about it. The point about tabloid news is well made and well taken. Major props for his courage and determination to beat it. You also have to admire how he threw in a jab about his contract, arguably helping offset the news with a bit of humor to show that determination.

I feel bad for Mr. Trebek about his cancer and he and his family will be in my personal prayers. I hope he can beat this even at a stage 4 but he is a fighter. It is a shock but I will still watch Jeopardy! with or without Alex there as I have with Alex for most to almost all of the 35 years it has been on the air.

This hits the game show community like a bag of bricks. Mr. Trebek is one of the most hallowed figures in the history of game shows, and this news is truly tragic. My prayers go out to Trebek and his family.

Having lost my mother to cancer last year and knowing many people who fought the long hard battle, I support Alex and wish him the best in his fight. I'd like to personally start Team Alex to show support. Anybody who wants to join in feel free to take the image in my signature or make your own.

100% agreed. I was speaking more in terms of a "badge" of sorts. In fact, making some modifications. Edit: The image is now a button. Adam is absolutely right and I should have included something like that in the first place.
